Roy Horton Has a Solid AX ride in Fort Wayne, IN
1/23/2009
I raced at the Fort Wayne, Indiana Arenacross
last weekend and it went much better then Chicago event the week prior.
Friday Night
I won both of my heats races and got a 3rd in
Lites main event and a 4th in the 450 main event after a small tip over.
Saturday Night
Saturday went a little better. I won both of my heats again, and I
finally got a descent start to a main event! I passed for the lead early in
the race and went on to win the Lites main event!
In the 450 class I also got out of the hole
ok. I started 4th and got into 2nd pretty
fast. I pulled up to the leader
about 6 laps in but I had to back off the gas because I got a rear flat
tire. I decided to ride around and
do the best I could with it. At the
end of the race I finished 4th.
I was a little disappointed because that extra
700 dollars would have been nice! Overall though it was a good weekend no
stuffing, no confrontations and just had good fun racing.

Roy Horton Completes Weekend Racing Prior To Grand Rapids with a Second |
1/2/2009 |
|
Roy Horton continued his AX
warm up racing Saturday and Sunday after his Friday night debut.
“It was a 3 race deal with any
overall points system with payouts to the top 10 overall. Saturday night I
performed well. I didn't get a great
start, but I just kept riding and with a little help from the leader Lichtle…
going down half way through the race, I ended up finishing 2nd on
Saturday.
The 3rd day of
racing, was ok. I won my heat, but just
didn't feel relaxed all day and I was pumping up. I think I was just beginning to wear down over the weekend.
In the main I got a good
start. I was 2nd and just had nothing
for Travis Sewell in the main event. I
rode around to a 2nd.
In the dash for cash I pulled
the holeshot and lead the first 8 laps then lost the front wheel in a turn. It
was a good weekend and I had fun! I didn't
run into anyone : ) and got 2nd for the weekend so I made a good chunk of
change for 3 days work, which was very much needed.
We’ll see you at Grand Rapids…
